Zevina stopped the clock at a 1:59.35 to overturn\u00a0Missy Franklin’s<\/strong> 2011 World Cup record of 2:00.03 from the Berlin stop, while flirting with\u00a0Katinka Hosszu’s<\/strong> 1:59.23 World Record.<\/p>\n Hosszu, meanwhile, finished second with a time of 2:01.80, fading on the third 50 when Zevina turned on the power.<\/p>\n Comparable Splits:<\/span><\/p>\n Hosszu, WR (2014): 28.17, 30.19, 30.41, 30.46– 1:59.23<\/p>\n Zevina (2016): 28.93, 30.69, 29.81, 29.92–1:59.35<\/p>\n Australia’s\u00a0Emily Seebohm\u00a0<\/strong>finished third overall with a time of 2:02.46, while Russia’s\u00a0Daria Ustinova\u00a0<\/strong>finished fourth with a 2:05.61.<\/p>\n Pauline Mahiu<\/strong> of France picked up fifth with a time of 2:15.43 and Singapore’s\u00a0Li Hui Genevieve Lye<\/strong> grabbed sixth with a 2:22.76.<\/p>\n Chad le Clos<\/strong> grabbed his second win of the day with a time of 22.17 in the men’s 50 fly.<\/p>\n A trio of 22’s followed him into the wall as the Ukraine’s\u00a0Andrii Govorov\u00a0<\/strong>(22.41), France’s\u00a0Jeremy Stravius\u00a0<\/strong>(22.78), and Belarus’\u00a0Pavel Sankovich\u00a0<\/strong>(22.81) picked up second through fourth respectively.<\/p>\n Andrii Khloptsov<\/strong> of the Ukraine finished fifth with a time of 22.35, followed closely by France’s\u00a0Mehdy Metella\u00a0<\/strong>and his 23.38.<\/p>\n Brazil’s\u00a0Glauber Silva<\/strong> (23.47) and China’s\u00a0Cui Junming<\/strong> (23.77) were seventh and eighth respectively.<\/p>\n Franziska Hentke<\/strong> of Germany outlasted the “Iron Lady”\u00a0Katinka Hosszu\u00a0<\/strong>in finals of the women’s 800 free, posting a first place finish of 8:24.66.<\/p>\n Hosszu turned up the tempo during the final 200 meters of the race but it was not enough to catch Hentke, so Hosszu settled for second and a time of 8:25.23.<\/p>\n Australia’s\u00a0Leah Neale<\/strong> and Great Britain’s\u00a0Hannah Miley\u00a0<\/strong>kept a tight race, finishing less than half a second apart. Neale posted a final 8:30.59 over Miley’s 8:30.93.<\/p>\n Miho Takahashi<\/strong> of Japan rounded out the competitors with a time of 8:40.97.<\/p>\n Germany’s\u00a0Philip Heintz<\/strong> soared ahead of the competition in the men’s 400 IM final, posting a time more than ten seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Heintz stopped the clock at a 4:03.51 to finish first of four.<\/p>\n Mark Meszaros<\/strong> of Hungary picked up second with a time of 4:14.46, followed by Austria’s\u00a0Sebastien Steffan’s\u00a0<\/strong>4:17.29.<\/p>\n Tunisia’s\u00a0Taki Mrabet<\/strong> grabbed fourth with a final 4:20.87.<\/p>\n Marco Koch<\/strong> of Germany was a no-show for the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everything you need to follow along live with day one finals of the 2016 FINA World Cup stop in Paris.
